Lea Thompson recalls 'intense' Artem Chigvintsev getting 'so mad' at her on DWTS - amid domestic battery arrest


Lea Thompson has reflected on her DWTS partnership with 'intense' Artem Chigvintsev amid his arrest for domestic battery.

The 42-year-old professional dancer was recently released on bail following his August 29 arrest in Napa County, California for domestic violence- with the star said to be fighting to save his relationship with wife Nikki Garcia, 40. The arrest, which reportedly came after Garcia threw shoes at her husband, took place less than four days after the pair celebrated the anniversary of their August 2022 wedding – with both marking the moment on social media. While she has allegedly banned Artem from seeing their four-year-old son Matteo without supervision and is searching for a divorce lawyer, sources have revealed to DailyMail.com that he is in the 'fight of his life' to win her back – especially now that he has been dropped from the upcoming season of DWTS.
